I am very interested in purchasing this. My lab loves to go on walks/runs and never seems to get tired (at least before I do). Do any of you have this? I would love to ride my bike along side my pooch. Let me know your thoughts on this.

I bought something similar to that.

I got a Biker Dog (http://www.bikerdog.com/).

Same concept, but I honestly like the design of Biker Dog better. Less work to put it together and less expensive too.

Here's Kia and I with the Biker Dog.

I enjoy it very much!! I used it a lot while camping last summer. The other campers got a kick out of us whenever we rolled by. :D

I think it's very easy to use. :)

I have a Springer. LOVE IT!! I use it for my dogs that can't be trusted off leash and for my dog aggressive girl. I've never had any trouble with Kayleigh, who weighs 120 pounds. I can keep pedalling and get her by other dogs with no problem. It's a fabulous thing!

Wow, I must check that out. Can you put one dog on each side of your bike? We have four dogs.

Should never happen. I've had Kayleigh lunge at squirrels and she couldn't pull the bike over. I've never taken a fall off the bike using the Springer. I used to crash alot when I tried to run them with a leash!

You can with the springer. I have a friend who does it with her malamutes and it works for them.

that is FABO!!!

I run Tito on my bike almost everyday, and that makes it look so much easier! When I come back to Canada for summer I am going to look into getting one!

So far we have been lucky and never had an accident, but still scares me when he bolts towards another dog or cat.

Our girl Roxey loves her bikerdog (didn't know you had one to Kim!):D She's lunged at things before and never even made me veer off at all.
Here we are taking a ride
